Do you ever take a "day off" from HubPages?
Do you ever take a day off from HubPages, just like you would take a day off from a regular job?
I don't think there has been a day when I don't at least check in and check my notifications.
I usually only work on Hub Pages on my days off from my regular job and during my vacation time. I work nights and am too tired to do everything I want to do. But I do work offline writing out ideas for my hubs. If I didn't have to work, I would be on HubPages mostly every day-except when I am out of town. I would probably work on hubs during the first part of the week and use the last part to read and comment on other people's hubs.
Yes, I don't work on Saturdays. I may not go to the site on other days, either, if I have other goals that are more pressing, my eyes need a break from looking at the computer screen, or my brain needs some down time to mull over hubs I've already done or am planning to do in the future. Down time is as important as writing time for the creative juices to keep flowing.
I look at my earnings, traffic stats, and check for comments most every day. I definitely don't feel like writing anything daily...sure wish I did though.
Since I'm almost forever banned from the forums, and since the very first time I was banned from the forums - I do like to look over the Q & A most days.
I take days off from Hubpages, but not very often. Sometimes with work and life I'm too busy or too tired to write on here. But I usually will still come on to check up on everything. What about you smw1962? Do you take days off?
I try to look at my stats and such at least once a day but sometimes I get sidetracked by life and forget. I believe that I joined a hub challenge prematurely because once again life popped up and stifled by progress! Oh well, life wouldn't be as entertaining without the surprises.
I usually tell myself that I'm going to stay away from HP for a day or so in order to get on with other things. But this normally fails as I can't resist taking a peek to see what's going on! Having said that, I do take a day off from writing once in a while. I think it's good to give yourself a reprieve and the mental faculty a rest.
I usually take Sunday's off from Hubpages, but there are times when I check my notificatons and so on.. Like seeker7 says, I like to also take a peek on what is going on. I like to keep updated. It's like I don't want to miss out on anything, eventhough I know that I probably won't.

I haven't been actively writing on Hub Pages in a while and want to get back into this and this might get me motivated.I remember hearing about a 100 hub challenge some years ago and I know that I could not possibly write 100 hubs in a month. That is why I am attempting to do this in a...

Have any of you found detestable ads on your hubs? It is a "game" with girls in bras...how distasteful I want it off my hub...do you know if we have a say in this? It has nothing to do with my poem and is disgusting to me.

Have you ever chosen to delete any of your hubs?If so, why? Did it have the affect that you were looking for?

Hi,Hi,I keep getting the message that my hubs could be featured, but no matter how often I change them, they never are. I keep getting told that they may contain "spammy elements" but I'm not sure what these might be. Many of my hubs were previously published in my local newspaper, the...
